Borislava Hristova scored 30 points as the Washington State women’s basketball team defeated Boise State 95-71 in a nonconference game Saturday afternoon at Beasley Coliseum.

Alexys Swedlund added 24 points for the Cougars (4-4), tying her career high.

WSU scored the game’s first nine points and had a 20-0 run in the second quarter. The Cougars shot 36 of 65 (55.4 percent) from the field, including 13 for 23 from 3-point range.

“It is exactly the kind of effort we have been begging them to give,” first-year WSU coach Kamie Ethridge said. “They just played unbelievably hard, maybe for a full game for the first time this year.”
